Chapter 64 Grapefruit Peel Candy

Li Dasi no longer struggled, probably because he was so painful that he didn't have the strength to do too many movements.

Su Ning glanced at it several times, and suddenly she was glad that she was not executed by the county magistrate.Although Adan said that because Li Dasi's body was hollowed out by alcohol, he couldn't hold it after a few hits, but he was still not as good as a man after all.

Maybe if I was hit with [-] boards, I would faint directly...

Fortunately, it's all over now, and Li Dasi deserved what he deserved, and his memory should be improved after being hit by these boards.Seeing the yamen servant take Li Dasi down, he felt that he would stay in the cell with wounds for so many days, and he might lose a layer of skin when he came out.

Adan was in a good mood when he left the yamen, but Li Dasi was also stubborn.This jade pendant is her own thing, no matter how he takes it away, this board will have to suffer.

The main reason why Li Dasi was beaten was because he framed Su Ning before, which led to Su Ning being thrown into the cell.

And the county magistrate, give him a good memory when he goes back.

Su Ning didn't have to suffer this, but he arrested people indiscriminately.It's fine if you catch someone, and you can keep them locked up for as long as you want.

It's so dark and cold in this cell, and the food is so unpalatable.She hasn't tried it, but she hasn't eaten pork, she must have seen pigs run.Su Ning was wearing that bag when she came out!

When Su Ning came out of the county office, she was frightened, but her expression was not obvious, and she looked calm.

In the past, I only heard people say that if such a vicious person is tried, the criminal law will be imposed round after round.But she also understands that the laws and regulations are there and cannot be changed.

"Do you want to continue living here or go back to the village?" Adan asked, holding her hand.

The guards were sent back by the two of them. Even if they said they wanted to protect Adan's safety, they should follow secretly when they were not needed.

Adan knew it well, but Su Ning was relieved to find that the guards who followed her were gone.

"I want to go back to the village. There are many things in the house that no one takes care of."

"Okay." Adan didn't stop her.Although the environment in this town is indeed much better.Remembering the obvious relaxed expression on Su Ning's face when the guards left just now, she couldn't help asking her: "So you don't like others following you?"

"Don't you think it's strange?" Su Ning asked her sideways. "Are there many people following you in the mansion in the capital?"

Adan shook his head, thinking how could he. "Prince Yi's Mansion is my own home. How could there be a lot of people following me at home. If you want to go outside, you can choose to bring people or not."

Su Ning was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked her: "Didn't it mean that you are easily hunted down by people with your identity?"

Adan couldn't help laughing.Su Ning was puzzled, isn't that how it is done in dramas?

A Dan rubbed her hair with a smile, and said: "How can it be, this capital is much safer than the outside. Well, at least it is safer than the outside. But it is not easy to kill a person."

Su Ning groaned, her face flushed, she probably knew she was making a joke.Take A Dan to the vegetable market to buy things.

She should go back this afternoon to buy some vegetables.Although I still have bacon at home, I need to buy some fresh meat.The roads in the village are really blocked and the news is poor.

This time Adan was rich, but Su Ning still didn't buy much.Because the other party said before that the guards will find a place to live, anyway, Su Ning's house can't accommodate so many people.Then Su Ning doesn't have to worry about eating, so buying too much food can only be a waste.

Su Ning picked left and right, besides buying some fresh pork, she also planned to buy some pork belly.Asked the person who was looking around, pulled off her sleeve and said, "Do you want to drink pork belly soup? I heard this is good."

"Well, as long as it's what you do." Adan didn't care.

She also remembered that the other party was indeed not very picky eater, and she didn't ask her any more when she was shopping for vegetables.In fact, if she buys dishes that she doesn't like, it's a big deal to eat the head office by herself.

When passing by the grocery store, Su Ning suddenly remembered that she hadn't bought salt yet.Quickly drag Adan in.

After buying some salt, Su Ning mentioned the things she made for herself back then, and Adan remembered the bowl of soup she made for Su Ning before, and touched her nose a little guilty.After coughing twice, he quickly changed the topic: "What else do you want besides salt?"

"Well, let's pack some pepper, and some goji berries, are there any red dates?" This is asking the shopkeeper.

The other party took it out and let Su Ning choose.A Dan guessed that Su Ning was going to eat chicken, and swallowed.Question: "Is the chicken at home still not finished?"

"Well, there are quite a few more."

"Didn't you kill them during the Chinese New Year?"

"I killed one and thought I couldn't finish it."

The two asked and talked about simple things, but the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

The shopkeeper on the side may feel that the atmosphere is a bit awkward for him, so he interjected, "Guest officer, if you want to make soup, you can add this."

The other party took out a small bag that was two fingers wide and half a finger long.Su Ning has seen this thing before, but she doesn't know the name.It looks white, but I heard that it tastes pink, and it is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine.

Basically every pharmacy, grocery store or a small stall that specializes in buying traditional Chinese medicine has this kind of thing.It looks familiar but I just don't know what it is.

"It's called Poria cocos. Some people buy it to make old hen soup. It's very filling." The shopkeeper began to sell it.

Su Ning wanted to buy it but didn't dare to buy it. She didn't like it very much.When asked about the price, the shopkeeper made a gesture, and that was the price.Su Ning looked at it, and it was okay.

Su Ning still felt that it was a bit expensive, and she didn't like the taste very much.But the shopkeeper said that this thing is boiled in chicken soup, which is very nourishing.

Adan shook his head and said, "No need, just take the ones you picked out earlier."

She doesn't particularly like this taste either, seeing Su Ning's appearance, she plans to buy some if she doesn't like it.The reason why she refused was because she saw that Su Ning wanted to buy it because she wanted to make up for herself.When the time comes to put it in the chicken soup, the taste will be weird. Although I can barely accept it, it is impossible for Su Ning not to eat it.

After paying the bill, she led Su Ning and left the grocery store.The other party was still looking at him wonderingly.

"Why don't you buy it?" Su Ning asked.

"Do you like that thing?" Adan guessed that she didn't like it, and as expected, he saw the other party shaking his head. "That's fine, don't do it for me."

Su Ning is too easy to worry about which one to worry about, often ignoring her own feelings.

Seeing the other party nodding, Adan felt relieved.

In fact, although she can accept it, she doesn't like to put it in the soup...

When he came back, he went to buy some rice candy. This time, Adan specified that he would make some for his concubine to take home, which made Su Ning nervous.

I also bought some grapefruit peel candy by the way, Su Ning did not expect to encounter someone who bought grapefruit peel candy.You know it's very rare.

Grapefruit peel sugar, as the name suggests, is sugar made from grapefruit peel.Su Ning can also do it, anyway, sugar and grapefruit peel are indispensable

First of all, rub the grapefruit peel with salt first. She doesn't know why, but it's a reason passed down from the ancestors.

Then you have to peel off the outer skin of the grapefruit, because the skin will be bitter.But the grapefruit peel itself has a fragrance.You can keep it for a while, and this fragrance will remove the sweetness.

Next, cut the pomelo peel into slices and soak for three to four to five days to make the skin soft and hard.Of course, the last time you do it, you have to squeeze out the water.After the syrup is boiled, let the grapefruit peel absorb the syrup.Constant stirring is required.Anyway, it will be very troublesome in the later stage.It was burning and stirring again.Finally, when only the sugar sand is left after stirring, it is barely completed.

After being made, the pomelo peel is translucent in color, and the whole body is brown.The fragrance of grapefruit and the sweetness of sugar are mixed together.

One word, sweet!

This kind of candy is very sweet to be honest, and it will be too sweet to eat.But some people will still buy it, but it is very expensive.It is possible that a piece of grapefruit peel candy is the size of a palm, and it costs several copper coins.

Seeing her staring at her for a long time, Ah Dan thought she wanted to eat.asked a question. "Want to eat?"

Su Ning shook her head and denied it.Although the smell should be delicious, but the taste is really tired after a few mouthfuls.This is especially true for someone like her who doesn't particularly like sweets.

"Buy some." Adan suggested.She has never seen it before, but it is very novel, and she wants to buy some to try.It smells sweet and looks good. "One catty."

Su Ning almost choked on her own saliva, a catty? !No kidding.Come a catty, are you planning to sweeten yourself to death?

He hurriedly stopped the woman who was about to get weighed, and said with a smile: "It doesn't need that much, three pieces will be fine."

The other party handed her the oiled paper and said, "Then grab it yourself."

Su Ning took the oiled paper, carefully selected it, and asked the person who couldn't take her eyes off it: "Do you want the big one or the small one, this one is very sweet."

"Then let's go by the way." Hearing Su Ning say this many times, she also retreated in her heart.

The pomelo peel candy is also quite heavy, and three pieces of candy cost five Wen.Su Ning clicked her tongue in her heart, and paid the money obediently.

"Give me another piece of paper." Su Ning asked for another piece of oiled paper before leaving.

Wrap a piece of grapefruit peel in a paper and feed it to her, saying: "Let's try it." "

With her hand, Adan bit off the piece of grapefruit peel candy.It's really sweet, and a little sticky.However, the place Su Ning tore off for her happened to be the place where the skin was on, and the grapefruit skin still had a little fragrance, after relieving the sweetness, it was indeed not bad.

But eating too much is really boring.

Su Ning stopped her hand, raised her head and asked her, "Are you still eating?"

Sure enough, when he saw the other party shaking his head, he thought to himself that it was a pound just now, but luckily he was on the side.Otherwise, if you really buy it back, you may not be able to finish eating it for several months.

Well, if those guards can share it with her.

"Actually, it's good to eat a little once in a while." People who have just tasted the perfect taste began to express their opinions.

Su Ning nodded, feeling good after eating some candy.Tilting her head and looking at her, she said, "Then do you want me to make peanut candy for you?"

The other party couldn't wait to affirm. "Definitely. That tastes crispy and not so greasy. Is there any other delicious candy?"

"I'm not sure, but winter melon candy is not bad. It's also a very sweet kind..." Su Ning only remembered this thing suddenly.After a while, I remembered something. "What popcorn candies are there? They are made of rice. I seldom learn about them. What kind of stuff does the capital want?"

Su Ning suddenly wanted to know more about this, wondering what Adan, who loves desserts so much, would eat around the capital?

The other party obviously wanted to touch his chin, but there were too many things in his hands and he had to give up. "The things made by the few big shops in the capital are better. The tastes are different, but I used to like the plum blossom shortbread made by the cook in my mother's small kitchen the most."

"Why before?"

"Because I like the peanut crisps you make now. I didn't like eating peanuts very much before." Adan nodded very seriously.

The two walked slowly back to the inn holding hands.

Because Su Ning is going back today, Adan naturally has to accompany her back.The guards packed up everything and waited with the horses, finally waiting for the two men to come back.

"Su Ning, can you ride a horse?" Adan forgot this, because the guards also prepared an extra horse for Su Ning.

The other party shook his head, and Adan answered, "Then you and I can ride a horse."

"Okay." Su Ning could only nod her head,

Why did the guards prepare a horse? It was barely enough for her to drive the ox cart.If you want to talk about riding a horse, you really don't know anything about it.Don't say she can't, this town and dozens of villages around it may not be able to find a few.

Few of the hunters know how to ride a horse, because in the deep mountains and old forests, riding a horse is better than climbing up with bare hands.

Besides, if the people here don't have any chances in this life or if they don't want to leave, they may spend their whole life here.

The place where Su Ning is located is considered a remote place. According to Adan's statement, it is a good place to exile criminal officials after a few steps inside.

Now let's take Su Ning back quickly, the horse is too high, Su Ning has never ridden a horse and doesn't know how to get up.

And she was wearing a narrow skirt, so she couldn't move her legs.

A Dan asked someone to bring a stool, and led the horse to the bottom of the steps to add the height of the stool, and Su Ning went up smoothly.

It's just sitting sideways, originally Su Ning wanted to sit with her legs spread out, it's fine to be careful.Later, I thought it was too indecent, so I'd better sit sideways.It's just that the center of gravity is not very stable when sitting sideways, looking at A Dan and saying: "I think I will fall..."

"Afraid?"

"I'm not afraid. I'm just worried that I'll fall." What are you afraid of at such a high point, it's just that it's too troublesome to fall and come back up again.In order to prevent the horse from shaking too much, Adan also stepped on the stool.

"I'm holding you, don't worry." Adan pulled the rein and turned the horse's head.the horses walked in place for a while

A guard came over and handed her a cloak and said, "Master, everything has been arranged."

"Let's go. Drive!" Adan wrapped the cloak around Su Ning.She already has someone to shield herself from the wind, she is afraid that Su Ning will blow hard.After covering it without hesitation, I set off immediately.

The other guards immediately got on their horses sideways and followed behind her.

The speed of going back is not fast, but it is not slow.The hills on both sides are covered with snow, and the branches are hung by icicles, and those who can't bear it will fall down, making a crackling sound.

It was Su Ning's first time riding a horse, and it was really novel.However, his face was also a little uncomfortable being blown by the wind, so he had to turn sideways in order not to block Adan's line of sight.

"It's okay, you don't need to turn your body sideways, I'll just tilt my head to look at it." Adan said seeing the other party's bowed body really uncomfortable.

"I blocked you." Su Ning replied.

"It's warmer if you cover it, but your hands are a little cold." Adan replied.

Let go of one hand to touch Su Ning's face, because it was so cold that she shivered from being touched. "It's so cold..."

Su Ning held her hand, hoping to warm it up.

Speaking of hands, Adan remembered one thing. "After I left, did you wash your clothes in cold water again?"

"Occasionally, it's too troublesome to boil hot water, and it costs money." Su Ning said truthfully.

Adan was a little angry, and said, "I just said that your hands are red and swollen from looking at them. If you don't take a good look at them, you will get frostbite. It will hurt you to death."

Su Ning didn't speak, but Adan became very angry. "I told you to be careful when I left."

"Oh, I see." The other party's tone was lukewarm.

Adan shook his head helplessly, Su Ning is such a character.Unless she understands what others say, don't look at her nodding as if she has listened.I don't know what the truth is.So Su Ning definitely didn't take a word of what he said to her back then.

But it's okay if you don't listen, she won't let Su Ning wash clothes in cold water in winter again.The group wandered to the entrance of the village, because riding a horse was still faster than walking or riding an ox cart, and it was not too late when they returned to the village.

It was still bright.

"Master, won't you make a detour?" It was their responsibility to remind A Dan, because last time she made a detour to avoid being seen by the villagers.

Adan glanced at the guard. The guard should have been the leader of the group before, but now he has to obey his orders. "Don't go around, Su Ning's house is too small to accommodate so many of you, so I can only find a place in the village."

The opponent retreated.

Adan spun his horse and looked around several times, and said, "Go and find the village chief, he has a solution."

The other party should also be responsible for this matter, anyway, it is enough to give some compensation to the villagers who borrowed the house at that time.

The roads in the village are wide enough to pass by on horseback.Considering the children playing, there are so many people riding horses, if you accidentally don't see it.Injuring a child or scaring a horse is troublesome.

Everyone dismounted and led the horse away.

Such a group of people was indeed obvious enough, and many people hid in the house and pointed at them.When I arrived at the village chief's house, Su Ning didn't go in after Adan went in.Waiting outside, she was a little uncomfortable riding a dangling horse, it would be better to stand outside and enjoy the cold wind.

"Su Ning, Su Ning... come here!" Someone called her softly from a distance.

Su Ning took a look, she was an old woman in the village.The other party was calling her to go over, but the guards didn't want her to go over because they were worried about danger.

This made her smile wryly, what, danger?These are people from the same village who have lived for many years.Leaving early by accident...

Su Ning went over and found two or three people standing behind this corner, all from the village.I also came here to inquire about the situation.

The other party asked again: "Didn't you get arrested last time? Did you steal something? If you really can't make it through, don't steal it. There is always a way."

This is really thinking that Su Ning stole something, and asked Su Ning if the county magistrate saw her as a woman and came out without hitting her.

But these are not her main purpose, nor is the group behind her want to know.Finally got straight to the point. "Su Ning, who are these people? Why are they so vicious and still carry knives?"

Su Ning was stuck, how should she answer.I don't know if Adan wants to reveal his identity.

The other party asked again, and said, "What's the origin of it? Tell me, isn't that idiot Adan in your family? I haven't seen her for a long time. These people could not be brought by that Adan, right?" .”

"Uh..." Su Ning hesitated for a long time but still didn't say anything

The author has something to say: I don’t know if I have eaten Poria cocos, but they all say that the taste is similar to "potato chips", so the taste is average. (Potato chips here are uncooked sweet potatoes cut into slices and dried, the taste is not good...)

The local dialect is called "Fu Pian".
